I gave my medal to my dad who is running his own marathon of sorts--fighting terminal lung cancer with chemo that is its own kind of torture. As for training, we just got a circle of friends together and agreed to run every Saturday morning at 7am. We set different distances each week and that was enough...we trained for four months. The actual run was tough, but we did it! Now, we're training for a triathlon together. Crazy! THE MEDALS ABSOLUTELY MATTER—It’s your way of showing the rest of the world you did it!

I keep all my bib #'s on a designated bulletin board too. Somehow, it gives me a little motivation when I need an extra kick in the pants to train. Medals are awesome.

I love the half, it is my favorite distance race and it is my favorite to train for. I always figure if I'm going to wake up at 5 am to do something it better be worth it. I don't get outta bed early for a 5k LOL I agree sign up for the race and just do it… make sure they award a medal though!
